FOSCAM FI9900P can't connect wifi to RBK40
Hi Guys
It is my first time with Orbi. Originally my wifi network was namaged by TP-Link Archer C60, so I have decided replace by Netgear.
Anyway, some issues happen when I try to connect...

Yes... some progress but not good.
I have applied changes of configuration such us WIFI 2.4GHZ channels to 1, 6 or 11 and desabling MIMO, Fast Roaming, IPv6, etc.
Now, the camera can connect to Orbi, but in erratic way. Lost package.
My concern is about what portion of Orbi are providing access to get IP. Around 26 ft I have a Satellite, but the connection try to do to Ordi Router (40ft behind).
Honestly, it is my first experience with Orbi, so my apologize to do some simple questions.
Nice day to everybody

Cameras do not roam between WiFi access points. Your camera will connect to the first Orbi it sees and never change. When you power cycle Orbi or make a change (like setting the channel) Orbi will reboot. The Orbi router will come up first. Your cameras will see the router and connect to that. You must restart the camera to get it to connect to the nearest Orbi after every time Orbi reboots, the power goes out, or you make a change to Orbi.
Restart your cameras after you have finished changing Orbi and you should see them connect to the satellite.
